I'm on this one...have been looking for something to help this issue. I also have the issue of just wanting to chow down after the migraine meds kick in. I have no idea what that's about

Have officially jumped thru every hoop that Dr. Oz put up, except the last weigh in over at WW, which I am gonna weight/wait til Monday to do.

Seriously excited about this... 10% of my weight off in 6 weeks. I feel like I can do anything I put my mind to. And that you can too!

I went to Zumba tonight instead of doing Hip Hop Abs. Yay! It was fun. Potluck at work tomorrow...Grrrrr...My co-workers never get tired of feeding at the trough. I'm just being jealous, because I know I won't give in. I'm bringing spinach salad, and carb-free chicken for lunch.

i've often wondered if this has to do with body sugar.
before i even know i am getting a migraine i crave sugar/carbs and it's worse after the meds.

Hmmmm... I'm going to start paying attention to that. You and Scuba have me curious now.

Agree. Definitely the body feels a "need" of some sort. It's not that I don't trust that it does "need" I just wish I knew what it was...Drinking water and LOTS of it has helped this a ton.

Scuba, with your conscientious water consumption; Medusa with your mini-goals (what a smart way to build intermittent success into a longer process!); Hollylane with your impressive reclamation of digestive health after your gastric surgery; Dee and Thinker with your cause-and-effect detective work around the carbs/sugar/migraine connection, and everyone else—thanks for sharing your news and progress!

I'm at my parents' house for the weekend, avoiding open bowls of chocolate almonds, a freezer full of ice cream and other treats everywhere I look...all of which I have avoided! We just got back from a restaurant and I had blackened Rainbow Trout with asparagus, and sauteed spinach.

I was surprised to see, this morning when I weighed myself (I always weigh early in the morning), I'm down to 150.5 pounds. I've been up and down since I first reported my all-time high of 155.5 a couple weeks ago. I've had good days and also binged on frozen yogurt and popcorn on other days; so it's like, one step forward, two steps back—which nonetheless, equals progress.

Having a place to report how it's going is very, very helpful to me. Thank you!

I've noticed that my stomach will do a little growl-y thing after the meds kick in, but I don't think I ever feel very hungry.

I'm not sure what the connection would be either.
